The Obama administration announced with little fanfare Thanksgiving eve plans to lock up nine million acres of land for the endangered Northern Spotted Owl.

The plan would double the amount of public forest lands proposed by the Bush administration for the owls habitat in Oregon, Washington and Northern California, and is expected to severely limit commercial activities like logging.

Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said he is concerned the plan will cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

Expanding the Northern Spotted Owls critical habitat will further endanger the timber industry, the thousands of jobs that the industry supports, and forest health, Hastings said.

This is what socialists/communists do! Why is anyone surprised? You Obama supporters will rue the day you re-elected this Hitler in waiting. The congress is the only thing that stands in his way. Will they cave? Remains to be seen. This is so like what I read about Hitler’s rise to power. No one dared speak up. Suddenly, it was too late.

This is what happens when the fascist state uses a fascist definition for the term species instead of a scientific definition. I bet multi-national forest industry corporations like Weyerhaeser paid a lot of money for this decision because it makes forest land they own or control worth a lot more money.

Reid and Pelosi are in league with Dear Leader and Boehner and McConnell are the thin red line. What could go wrong? This will not end any better for the Congress than it did for the Reichstag and the rest of us are along for the ride.

The House of Representatives had better start "taking care of business" by withdrawing funds from the Zer0 administration, and do it quick.

The regime will call the House "haters" and obstructionists but they are called that NOW....what would change?

Seriously, the House IS our LAST line of defense....it could be the cavalry coming to the rescue....

....the House will change to D (for dead-beats) in '14, and any chance to at least slow down the socialism of America will be lost until the collapse.

...the dead-beats have taken over...and there is nothing we can do about that except keep pointing out their dead-beatness..

...we have been OUT-BRED by dead-beats and have been INVADED by dead-beats..the only thing that can be done now is to slow the agenda by starving it. The House COULD do it if they WILL do it....but with Boehner in charge, don't hold your breath...

One has to wonder at the blind reasoning here - the Spotted Owl is a most resourceful fellow....they can and do live other places than what these nits think they do. Grants, loans, agencies, bureaucrats.........$$$$$$$ -Oh and of course, votes for the next progressives in line.

This is really just Agenda 21 disguised as endangered species protection. All land rightfully belongs to the United Nations. The fact that human beings are allowed to live on any of it is just an oversight that they are in the process of correcting.

Bingo!

"99.9% of all species that have ever inhabited this planet are now extinct, and still we get along......nobody will miss the Spotted Owl."

The leftist Marxist Enviro Democrats will. This is about power and control, just like global warming, global cooling, TARP, and all the rest of we know best programs. It is always about power and corruption.

Northwesterners, over the decades, have amassed a gigantic pile of photographs of Spotted Owls ... nesting in barns, nesting in second growth timber, nesting in houses, pretty much everywhere but the habitat the "experts" say is required for them.

The experts, when presented with this evidence, scoffed and told the photographers that while they may have snapped a picture of a Spotted Owl, they know best. So all that evidence was thrown in the trash because, after all, normal people taking pictures of owls are not experts.

I remember about a year and a half ago when someone (who may or may not be a co-worker of mine) came into the shop with a spotted owl stuck in the grill of his truck. We pondered what to do with it (with one idiot wanting to post pictures of it on Farcebook) and finally did just that - buried it.

(Everything is different now...)

This is exactly what I told my family on Christmas Eve 2010. They thought I was crazy then and they still do. They all voted for Obama again instead of paying attention, or even bothering to ask me why I said that. It was a nice Thanksgiving without them.

It is because of the amount of land the male needs to have as his territory in order to mate. It’s not about food. I think if people knew this, they would burn the 9 million acres down in rage. One bird requires an obscene amount of territory in order to reproduce and everything must revolve around his pecker.
